so angry, sick coworker

So everyone who works with me KNOWS I'm pregnant and yesterday the guy covering my break comes in and says "I think my fever just broke, i'm swearing like a pig" and I was like "isn't a fever when you're most contagious?" And he was like "well i'm not coughing on anyone and i'm issuing as lot of purell" that isn't the fucking point. I'm pregnant AND caring for a toddler AND he covered my first break without saying a single fucking word about being sick AND I work in a tiny confined space of a building approximately 10'x7' and I can't afford to miss work/pay by getting sick and/or getting my son sick and i'm PREGNANT and he had a FEVER he said... Wtf???? Who the hell doesn't TELL their coworker they are sick???

Happened to me a couple weeks ago. A lady who sits near me, who i dont get along with, was hacking for weeks. Finally another co-worker complained to my boss (using my pregnancy as one of her points). Our boss talked to her and then she was gone for 3 days so apparently she was sick enough.
She believes i tattled and is pissed but idc. Our county is huge for whooping cough so that was my co-workers concern.
